Virus C

[Aaron Marshall]

The Virus C is such a great instrument. A friend let me borrow his for a day or two. I instantly became a fan of the Access sound. I think the filters on the C is what sets it apart.

I did this little demo called Infected you can check out if you want. I used only the Virus C recorded into my laptop into Adobe Audition. This was back in 2004. I think the sound is lacking in fidelity (laptop conversion, headphones monitoring), but, there's still something special to me about the experience.

I didn't have enough money at the time to invest in a Virus C so I bought a TC Powercore and the Virus plugin. It sounds very similar, but I think it lacks those great filters & I loved the hands on manipulation of the Virus C.

I still have gotten around to auditioning a Virus TI. Does anyone have one of those beasts? I don't quite like the idea of using it as a VSTi. What's the point of having hardware synths if you can't manipulate and color the gain structure? None the less; I am still intrigued.
